ALAN PETERS OBE – ELM DINING TABLE – SOLD

SOLD

With the blessing, support and on behalf of Alan’s widow Laura, we have this beautiful and rare piece for sale designed and made by Alan Peters OBE (1933 – 2009).

Alan was a pivotal and influential furniture designer-maker. His time apprenticed at Edward Barnsley’s workshop, studying at the Central School of Arts & Crafts, and running his own practice in Surrey and Devon spanned more than half a century. Alan inspired a generation of furniture designer-makers with the clarity of his line, his clear connection to the Arts & Crafts ethos and a life lead in their pursuit.

This table is made from elm, a wood which is very dear to my heart and I have often spoken of its qualities. Its rugged, awkward grain does not give up its charms easily and can put up a cussed, tool-blunting fight which needs persistence if you are to reveal its beauty. This table has a top made from one piece, 2130mm long, which would have put up quite a conversational challenge.

I cannot think of a more befitting memorial to both Alan and the elm than this beautifully confident and simple English table.
